摘要:
The activation of molecular oxygen (O2) is extremely crucial in heterogeneous oxidations for various industrial applications. Here, a charge-transfer complex CuTCNQ nanowire (CuTCNQ NW) array grown on the copper foam was first reported to show CO catalytic oxidation activity at a temperature below 200 °C with the activated O2 as an oxidant. The molecular O2 was energetically activated over the Cu(I)-mediated C=N bond with a lower energy of -1.167 eV and preferentially reduced to •O2- through one-electron transfer during the activation process by density functional theory calculations and electron paramagnetic resonance. The theoretical calculations indicated that the CO molecule was oxidized by the activated O2 on the CuTCNQ NW surface via the Eley-Rideal mechanism, which had been further confirmed by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra. These results indicated that the local C=N bond electron-state engineering could effectively improve the molecular O2 activation efficiency, which facilitates the low-temperature CO catalytic oxidation. The findings reported here enhance our understanding on the molecular oxygen activation pathway over metal-organic nanocatalysts and provide a new avenue for rational design of novel low-cost, organic-based heterogeneous catalysts.

摘要:
In this study, we report the desirable conversion of H2O2 to [rad]OH with aquifer sediment activated by ascorbic acid. Although aquifer sediment contained various iron minerals, such as goethite, hematite, montmorillonite, muscovite, chlorite and phlogopite, it could not efficiently activate H2O2 to produce [rad]OH. Interestingly, the presence of ascorbic acid dramatically promoted the [rad]OH conversion efficiency of H2O2 by aquifer sediment to remediate organic contaminants in groundwater, which was ascribed to the efficient iron cycle of aquifer sediment induced by ascorbic acid. Among these minerals in sediment, goethite and hematite were more reactive than other minerals to activate H2O2 in the presence of ascorbic acid. Although the initial pH could affect the [rad]OH conversion efficiency of H2O2, H2O2 could be decomposed by aquifer sediment at pH 3-11 after the introduction of ascorbic acid. Along with the complete degradation of organic contaminants, the final pH of solution increased to 8.3, which was close to the initial pH (8.9) of groundwater. Moreover, packed column of aquifer sediment could also catalyze the H2O2 conversion to [rad]OH for the removal of different organic contaminants with adding ascorbic acid, suggesting a new strategy for in situ chemical oxidation remediation of organic contaminated groundwater. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
Hematite nanocrystals are ubiquitous in natural environments, and because of their strong sorption properties these particles can influence the mobility and fate of toxic elements such as hexavalent chromium and arsenic. It is now well established that sorption onto hematite is morphology dependent, because its hexagonal structure imparts distinct interfacial chemistry to individual facets. It is also well known that interaction of these facets with ferrous iron can impart powerful catalytic reduction capacity at these interfaces. However, the underlying mechanisms for facet-specific sorption and reductive transformation of specific metals remains poorly understood at the molecular scale. In this article, we first briefly review the synthesis of size and morphologically well-defined hematite nanocrystals and their corresponding growth mechanisms. We then summarize recent advances in understanding interactions between hematite facets and ferrous iron, as well as their impact on the geochemical cycles of some elements and contaminants. We emphasize the reductive dissolution of hematite facets and elucidate corresponding environmental implications. Furthermore, we focus on facet-dependent adsorption of model environmental contaminants. Finally, we highlight the importance of hematite nanocrystals for remediation and provide suggestions for improving understanding of their roles in the environment. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Cr(VI) reduction;Mn(2+);Ternary complex;in-situ generated Mn(3+);oxalic acid
摘要:
In this study, we demonstrate that Mn(2+) can greatly promote the Cr(VI) reduction by oxalic acid at pH<5 via an induction period and a subsequent auto-acceleration process. The Cr(VI) reduction rate constant during the late auto-acceleration process was about 10 times that of the initial induction period. Characterization results revealed that this interesting two-step Cr(VI) reduction phenomenon was attributed to the in-situ generated Mn(3+) by the oxidation of Mn(2+) with Cr(VI) in the presence of oxalic acid during the induction period. The in-situ generated Mn(3+) might complex with oxalate and Cr(VI) to produce a ternary complex, thus facilitating the electron transfer from oxalate to Cr(VI) to automatically accelerate the Cr(VI) reduction process. These findings shed insight into the possible roles of widely existed Mn ions (Mn(2+) and Mn(3+)) and oxalic acid in the transformation of Cr(VI) in natural aquatic environment, and also provided an efficient way to remediate Cr(VI)-containing acid wastewater.

摘要:
Catalytic ammonia synthesis from dinitrogen (N2) under mild conditions has been considered to be the "holy grail" of N2 fixation, which is one of the most important chemical processes in the agriculture, biological and industrial fields. Given that current artificial N2 fixation is still dominated by the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process, solar N2 fixation represents an encouraging and fascinating route for carbon-free and energy-saving N2 fixation. However, its practical application is seriously hampered by surface sluggish reaction kinetics. In this minireview, we share our perspectives on the use of two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets for the manipulation of photocatalytic N2 fixation. Nanosheet photocatalysts serve as the perfect platform for the engineering of surface active sites, including defects and iron, all of which can not only bolster photon-exciton interaction toward robust charge carriers generation upon light absorption, but also mimic the function schemes of MoFe-cofactor in nitrogenase toward sufficient N2 binding and activation. These merits endowed by nanosheets photocatalysts provide instructive information on exploring the rich nitrogen photochemistry on solid surfaces and offer new opportunities for the design of novel photocatalysts towards efficient N2 fixation. © 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

摘要:
Owing to the lack of chromophores and ionizable functional groups, it is a significant challenge to determine perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF) by traditional high-performance liquid chromatography or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, especially at a low concentration. In this work a unique photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing strip has been developed for the first time for the detection of PFOSF. The sensing strip is cost effective and disposable, whereby BiOI nanoflake arrays are fabricated on a home-made screen-printed electrode through a facile one-step in-situ electrodeposition process, and then the molecule tags (i.e., molecularly imprinted polymers) for PFOSF are subsequently grafted on the surface. Benefitting from a three-dimensional interconnected framework, the as-fabricated sensing strip has a rapid response to the interfacial steric hindrance effect between the sensing platform and the target analyte of PFOSF. The elaborated PEC sensor exhibits a outstanding linear response to a concentration of PFOSF ranging from 0.05 to 500.0 ppb and a detection limit down to 0.01 ppb (S/N = 3) Furthermore, our low-cost and highly sensitive sensor has been further explored to detect PFOSF in real water samples, showing satisfactory results. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
Converting sewage sludge into functional environmental materials has become an attractive sewage sludge disposal route. In this study, we synthesize a sewage sludge-based material via a facile one-pot hydrothermal carbonization method and construct a visible light molecular oxygen activation system with hydrothermally carbonized sewage sludge (HTC-S) and oxalate to degrade various organic pollutants. It was found that iron species of HTC-S could chelate with oxalate to generate H 2 O 2 via molecular oxygen activation under visible light, and also promote the H 2 O 2 decomposition to produce • OH for the fast organic pollutants degradation. Taking sulfadimidine as the example, the apparent degradation rate of HTC-S/oxalate system was almost 5-20 times that of iron oxides/oxalate system. This outstanding degradation performance was attributed to the presence of iron-containing clay minerals in HTC-S, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurements and Mössbauer spectrometry. In the oxalate solution, these iron-containing clay minerals could be excited more easily than common iron oxides under visible light, because the silicon species strongly interacted with iron species in HTC-S to form Fe-O-Si bond, which lowered the excitation energy of Fe-oxalate complex. This work provides an alternative sewage sludge conversion pathway and also sheds light on the environmental remediation applications of sewage sludge-based materials.

摘要:
With the increased concentrations and kinds of refractory organic contaminants (ROCs) in aquatic environments, many previous reviews systematically summarized the applications of carbon-based materials in the adsorption and catalytic degradation of ROCs for their economically viable and environmentally friendly behavior. Interestingly, recent studies indicated that carbon-based materials in natural environment can also mediate the transformation of ROCs directly or indirectly due to their abundant persistent free radicals (PFRs). Understanding the formation mechanisms of PFRs in carbo-based materials and their interactions with ROCs is essential to develop their further applications in environment remediation. However, there is no comprehensive review so far about the direct and indirect removal of ROCs mediated by PFRs in amorphous, porous and crystalline carbon-based materials. The review aims to evaluate the formation mechanisms of PFRs in carbon-based materials synthesized through pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization processes. The influence of synthesis conditions (temperature and time) and carbon sources on the types as well as the concentrations of PFRs in carbon-based materials are also discussed. In particular, the effects of metals on the concentrations and types of PFRs in carbon-based materials are highlighted because they are considered as the catalysts for the formation of PFRs. The formation mechanisms of reactive species and the further transformation mechanisms of ROCs are briefly summarized, and the surface properties of carbon-based materials including surface area, types and number of functional groups, etc. are found to be the key parameters controlling their activities. However, due to diversity and complexity of carbon-based materials, the exact relationships between the activities of carbon-based materials and PFRs are still uncertain. Finally, the existing problems and current challenges for the ROCs transformation with carbon-based materials are also pointed out. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

摘要:
It is of a great challenge to seek for semiconductor photocatalysts with prominent reactivity to remove kinetically inert dilute NO without NO2 emission. In this study, complete visible light NO oxidation mediated by O2 is achieved over a defect-engineered BiOCl with selectivity exceeding 99%. Well-designed oxygen vacancies on the prototypical (001) surface of BiOCl favored the possible formation of geometric-favorable superoxide radicals (•O2 -) in a side-on bridging mode under ambient condition, which thermodynamically suppressed the terminal end-on •O2 - associated NO2 emission in case of higher temperatures, and thus selectively oxidized NO to nitrate. These findings can help us to understand the intriguing surface chemistry of photocatalytic NO oxidation and design highly efficient NOx removal systems. © 2018 American Chemical Society.

摘要:
In this study, molecular insights into NO-promoted SO2 oxidation on model TiO2 with well-defined (001), (010), and (101) facets are investigated in the laboratory. The adsorbed SO2 is significantly promoted to transform into sulfate by the coexisting NO on the three facets. The appearance of active oxygen species indicates an active oxygen species-initiated NO oxidation. The resulting NO2 acts as an oxidant to convert adsorbed sulfite on hydroxyls to sulfate species. The (101) facet presents the best performance in the NO-promoted sulfate formation possibly owing to its desirable structure to accommodate SO3 2-, NO2, and molecular water. The uptake coefficient (γt) of SO2 increases by the coexistence of NO on the (001) facet at 0% RH and is relative humidity (RH) dependent, which first decreases from 0% RH to 32% RH but then increases in the range of 32%-80% RH. The probable explanation is the combined contribution of the blocking effect of water and the hydration of SO2. The finding in this study provides insight into the possibility of its occurrence on common mineral dusts and requires further investigation. Copyright © 2018 American Chemical Society.

摘要:
Haber–Bosch thermal ammonia synthesis is of energy-intensive nature. Using solar energy for ammonia synthesis is idealized for both energy and environment problems, but remains great challenges. Generally, the diffuse solar flux and inefficient utilization cannot meet the energy demand for NH3 production. Here we develop a solar thermal avenue, realizing highly efficient solar ammonia synthesis over K/Ru/TiO2-xHx. The supported Ru is efficient for nitrogen activation because of the electron donation from TiO2-xHx and free from H2 poisoning, because the interfacial TiO2-xHx accepts H atoms from Ru and then delivers them to the Ru activated N2 to form Ti-NHx (x = 1–3) even at room temperature. When only irradiated with sunlight, this catalyst absorbs sunlight in the whole UV–vis-NIR region and reaches 360 °C by its plasmonic behavior, exhibiting a Haber–Bosch thermocatalysis-comparable NH3 generation rate. This solar thermal approach with K/Ru/TiO2-xHx provides a promising renewable way for ammonia synthesis. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
In general, the final product of atrazine (ATR) degradation by reactive oxygen species is cyanuric acid bearing a stable s-triazine ring, which is not further oxidized under mild conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that the presence of Ni(II) can increase the aerobic ATR degradation rate of core–shell Fe@Fe2O3 nanowires (CSFN) by 6 times and also achieve the cleavage of recalcitrant s-triazine ring. The cleavage of s-triazine ring in this novel system was confirmed by the measurements of formic acid and nitrite acid. On the basis of experimental results, a feasible mechanism was proposed to account for the promoted aerobic ATR degradation and the facile s-triazine ring cleavage as follows. First, Ni(II) adsorbed on the surface of CSFN was reduced to nickel metal, which favored the generation of active hydrogen (•H). The in-situ generated •H then reduced ATR to 4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine intermediate of easy ring opening property, rather than the recalcitrant cyanuric acid. Finally, this ATR degradation pathway change promoted the aerobic ATR degradation and benefited the s-triazine ring cleavage. This study clarifies the importance of degradation pathway on the ring-opening of organic pollutants, and also provides a mild method to remove s-triazine herbicides with molecular oxygen and zero-valent iron. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
The interaction between ascorbate and hematite facets was systematically investigated with attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculation, and kinetics model. Results of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and DFT calculation suggested formation of nonprotonated inner-sphere bidentate mononuclear and monodentate mononuclear iron-ascorbate complexes on the hematite {001} and {012} facets, respectively. The estimated reductive dissolution rate constants at pH 5.0 were (4.04 ±0.16) ×10<sup>-4</sup>and (1.59 ±0.14) ×10<sup>-4</sup>min<sup>-1</sup>for hematite nanoplates and nanocubes, respectively, indicating that the bidentate mononuclear iron-ascorbate complexes on the {001} facets favored the hematite reductive dissolution process than the monodentate mononuclear iron-ascorbate counterparts on the {012} facets. These results also revealed that the hematite facet reduction with ascorbate was strongly dependent on the iron-ascorbate complexes formed on the hematite facets. This study provides new insights into the reductive interaction between ascorbate and hematite facets and also shed light on the environmental effects of hematite at the atomic level. ©2017 American Chemical Society.

摘要:
In this study, an electrochemical/electro-Fenton oxidation (EC/EF) system was designed to degrade atrazine, by utilizing boron-doped diamond (BDD) and Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires loaded active carbon fiber (Fe@Fe2O3/ACF) as the anode and the cathode, respectively. This EC/EF system exhibited much higher degradation rate, decholorination and mineralization efficiency of atrazine than the electrochemical (EC) and electrochemical/traditional electro-Fenton (EC/TEF) oxidation counterpart systems without Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires. Active species trapping experiment revealed that Fe@Fe2O3 could activate molecular oxygen to produce more OH through Fenton reaction, which favored the atrazine degradation. High performance liquid chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were applied to probe the decomposition and mineralization of atrazine during this novel EC/EF process, which revealed that two intermediates of triazinons (the isomerization of hydroxylated atrazine) were generated during the electrochemical/electro-Fenton oxidation of atrazine in the presence of Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires. The experimental and theoretical calculation results suggested that atrazine might be degraded via a triazinon ring opening mechanism, while the presence of Fe@Fe2O3 notably accelerated the decholorination process, and produced more hydroxylated products to promote the generation of trazinons and the subsequent ring cleavage as well as the final complete mineralization. This work provides a deep insight into the triazine ring opening mechanism and the design of efficient electrochemical advanced oxidation technologies (EAOTs) for persistent organic pollutant removal.

摘要:
Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has attracted much more attention for its potential applications in the fields of environmental contaminant remediation and detoxification. Generally, nZVI consists of a zero-valent iron (Fe0) core and an iron oxide shell structure. As the underlying Fe0 core and the surface oxide shell determine the physical and chemical properties of nZVI, the nature of the oxide shell inevitably affects the organic/inorganic pollutant removal performance of nZVI, which has not been reviewed previously. In this article, we first introduce the synthesis and the oxide shell formation mechanism of core-shell structured nZVI and then discuss various characterization techniques to reveal the structure and chemical composition of the oxide shell. Subsequently, we clarify the roles of the oxide shell in the organic contaminant degradation efficiency and the molecular oxygen activation performance of nZVI and also highlight the effect of the oxide shell on heavy metal removal (including As) with nZVI. In addition, we summarize some oxide shell modification strategies to enhance the capacity and longevity of nZVI. Finally, we discuss the impacts of typical natural groundwater constituents (e.g. cations, anions, organic ligands, and dissolved oxygen) on the reactivity of nZVI and point out some unresolved issues related to the oxide shell dependent contaminant removal properties of nZVI. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.

摘要:
Regarding the abundant solar energy on the earth, photochemical method is the most attractive approach for the decomposition of atrazine pollutant which is widely existed in surface water. In this study, we report that the presence of sulfite can alter the photochemical atrazine degradation pathway to cleave its s-triazine ring. Density functional theory calculation results first suggested that a reductive process might be highly possible to break the s-triazine ring of atrazine by comparing the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gap values of six possible atrazine degradation intermediates. The subsequent experimental results reveal that the presence of sulfite shifted a direct atrazine hydroxylated dechlorination pathway to an indirect photo-degradation route with the aid of hydrated electrons and hydrogen atoms, which were produced from the photolysis of sulfite solution under UV irradiation. This rational degradation pathway change increased the atrazine degradation and dechlorination rates by 4.3 times, and also effectively cleaved s-triazine ring, as confirmed by the generation of ammonium ions and small molecule acids during the degradation of 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine with this sulfite promoted photochemical reduction process. This study provides a mild strategy to completely mineralize atrazine, and also sheds light on how the degradation pathway could affect the s-triazine ring cleavage. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
Roxarsone (ROX) is an organoarsenic compound that is widely used as an additive in swine and poultry feed to inhibit disease and promote growth. Due to its low metabolism in animals, it is excreted in animal urine and feces leading to its widespread contamination of soils and aquatic ecosystems. Herein, we demonstrated that ROX can be adsorbed and subsequently reduced by a common iron sulfide (greigite - Fe3S4) in the pH range of 3.6 to 8.6. ROX removal processes followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model that was strongly pH dependent. The nitro group of ROX was reduced by structural sulfide rather than dissolved sulfide or ferrous iron to generate an amino-group containing product, 4-hydroxy-3-aminophenylarsonic acid (HAPA). At neutral to alkaline pH values ROX and HAPA are preferentially adsorbed rather than reduced on the Fe3S4 surface. The interaction between ROX and Fe3S4 was minimally affected by interactions with coexisting cations, anions and natural organic matter (humic acid). These novel findings provide new insights for understanding the transformation mechanism of ROX by iron sulfides minerals, and have practical application for designing efficient systems for advanced treatment of ROX. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
As Fenton systems suffer from the undesirable Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle, great efforts were made to realize the effective reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II). The effects of hydrothermal carbon (HTC) on the Fe(III)/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>Fenton-like reaction and the subsequent degradation of alachlor in water was systematically investigated, and the results indicated that HTC could enhance alachlor degradation in Fe(III)/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>by promoting the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle via electron transfer from HTC to Fe(III) ions. The apparent alachlor degradation rate constant in the HTC-G/Fe(III)/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>system (7.02 ×10<sup>-2</sup>min<sup>-1</sup>) was about 3 times higher than that in the Fe(III)/H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>system (2.25 ×10<sup>-2</sup>min<sup>-1</sup>). The electron spin resonance spectra analysis revealed that HTC consists of abundant carbon-centered persistent free radicals to act as the electron donor. Meanwhile, the hydroxyl groups on the surface of HTC also played an important role in the enhanced alachlor degradation because the decrease in the surface hydroxyl groups on HTC significantly decreased the degradation of alachlor. On the basis of these results, an Fe(III) complex with surface hydroxyl groups on HTC was proposed to favor the electron transfer from the hydroxyl groups to Fe(III), and then, the simultaneously produced Fe(II) could accelerate the catalytic decomposition of H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf>to facilitate alachlor degradation. These findings shed new light on the possible roles of carbon materials in a natural aquatic environment and provide a new pathway for environmental pollutant control and remediation of organic contaminants by HTC. ©2017 American Chemical Society.
